  • 1 widens dribble to outside the pro lane as 5 walks into the ball screen. Screen the "back pocket" of the on-ball defender. 2 and 3 in corners at rim depth. 4 in SHORT corner behind the defense.

     

    5 rolls looking for quick pocket or hook pass. If pass comes to 5 on roll, he/she scores or looks to lob to 4.

     

    Options for 1:

    Drive to score

    Hit 5 on roll

    Draw and lob with 4

    Throwback to 2 on short shake

    Kickout to 3 (shown), catch & shoot or possible stampede into the catch and drive. If not, this is the next ball screen recipient. Slow down!

     

    After kickout, 1 sprint to ballside corner.

    Oftentimes, hitting the roller quickly causes the player guarding 4 here feel as if they need to help prevent the roller from scoring. In this case, roller can lob as shown

  • Wide PnR! We want wide PnRs, set outside the pro lane line.

    4 comes out to ball screen for 3. 1 short shakes behind the screen. Same options exist for 2. Kickout to 2 shown, could stampede the catch or shoot on the catch. IF neither, 2 is next ball screen recipient. 3 sprints to ball side corner after the kickout.

  • 2 receives ball screen from 5...

  • ...on kickout, 1 either catch and shoot, stampede the catch or wait for the walk out ball screen from 4.

  • Don't forget the lob opportunity when we SHORT the ball screen!
